re: Married men of the OT, how many of you are single income HH?

45 years ago this month my wife's doctor told her she was pregnant with our first child. She gave her 2-week notice the day she knew and we were a single income family from that day forward.

Our kids had a mom to see them off to school and be there when they got home - and she got to go on field trips as a chaperone and be with them during spring and summer break, if they were sick, on holidays, snow days, etc. And after school, their friends would come to our home for a snack and had adult supervision.

Our kids turned out great - successful adults now, never in real trouble - best decision for our family.
